Eric1. Ensey, City Planner Planning and Development Department City of La Porte, Texas Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting June 16, 2016 Future Land Use Plan Amendment (Tracts 9A and 50A of Abstract 30 of the W P Harris Survey) Planning and Development Department Staff Report ISSUE Consider a recommendation of approval to the City Council for an amendment to the city's Future Land Use Plan from "Neighborhood Commercial" use to "Low -Density Residential" use for Tracts 9A and 50A of Abstract 30 of the W P Harris Survey as demonstrated in the attached Exhibit A. RECOMMENDATION Should the Planning and Zoning Commission desire to recommend approval of Agenda Item (4-6) pertaining to Zone Change Request #16-92000002 to R-2, Medium Density Residential, then the city's Future Land Use Plan should be amended from "Neighborhood Commercial" use to "Low -Density Residential" use for said tract. DISCUSSION Staff is presenting for consideration an amendment to the city's Future Land Use Plan in conjunction with a request by Follis Construction and the City of La Porte for the rezoning of Tracts 9A and 50A of Abstract 30 of the WP Harris Survey to R-2. The applicant proposes the development of single family detached "special lot line" residential patio homes in accordance with applicable code requirements. The city's Future Land Use Plan (FLOP) identifies this property as "Neighborhood Commercial" use. In order to accommodate the proposed development, the FILLIP would need to be amended to allow for "Low -Density Residential" use. The FLUP may be amended from time to time, if approved by the City Council, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The attached Exhibit A demonstrates the existing land use versus what is being proposed. The proposed "Low -Density Residential" use would be consistent with surrounding land use to the west and south (Shady Acres Subdivision) and will provide a reasonable transition of uses. Section 213.003 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC) specifies requirements for amending the city's Future Land Use Plan, which was adopted as a component of the Comprehensive Plan. The LGC requires review of the proposed amendment by the Planning and Zoning Commission and consideration by the City Council. A public hearing will be scheduled at the time of City Council review.
